This makes it the cheapest 100-watt replacement bulb we've tested, and while it's not without some minor flaws, it's very easy to give excellent value.

He's pretty good on dimmer switches.

With a market price of $13, it's also one of the more expensive options in this study, but the LED100W Corn Light Replacement LED is my standout for dimming detection. In fact, it's the only lightbulb I've ever used that stabilizes falling light from the ground, but every power switch in our test rig barely flickers or buzzes at all.
That's not to say it's absolutely perfect. While the dimming was smooth, quiet, and flicker-free, the CreeLED had to average around 14% on all of my power switches, which is also very high. The light bulb's claims of improved color quality seem a bit exaggerated - the light quality looks good to me, but it doesn't look much better than other bulbs I've tested.
Even so, it's an all-around high-quality light bulb with no glaring flaws, and I love that Cree offers a similarly ideal 10-year warranty.
